BODEN ponte roma trousers

Has anyone bought them? I've just had mine delivered and they are tiny- much smaller than the ones I bought 2 years back.

I am struggling to lose 3-4 lbs round my belly but unsure if this is making that much difference. I ordered a 10R and although I am short, they are the right length but the rise is low and really doesn't cover enough bum area for my liking.

Boden sizing! Very unpredictable, I agree.

I've had the same experience as you. You might find, if you return them, and get another pair, that they fit!

I'm glad it's not just me. I have just bought some trousers from Jigsaw in a 10 and they are perfect - I know Jigsaw tends to be generous.
I measured the Boden Ponte Roma- they are 26 inches across before stretching. The measurements online say 28.5 waist for a 10 and 30 inches for a 12.

I ordered some today and I quite liked them. I got a 14 (usual size) and they did seem a little bit on the big side. There's no way I've lost any weight and am accidentally smaller than I think! :( That kind of fabric though is likely to shrink a bit on washing, would that be right?

Ordered? Received I mean.
